Andy Kubert

In this Villains Unleashed installment, Andy Kubert and Andy Clarke present us with a kinder, gentler Joker, a Joker who tries his hand at raising a child, even if said child is a baby gorilla he stole from the zoo. What does being a dad mean to the Clown Prince of Crime? Major Spoilers finds out!

Marvel had a number of teaser images come out during the Diamond Retailer Lunch yesterday. Right now it’s mostly speculation but more information on each will be coming out over the weekend. For now, take the jump and see what was teased.

Nite Owl and Rorschach are back after a strong outing in the much talked about Before Watchmen series of books. Will issue two hold up or will it flounder in its second issue? Major Spoilers is putting on its owl googles and giving you the answer.

DC Comics has announced that Andy Kubert will join Grant Morrison on a two-issue arc of Action Comics. Kubert will step in on issues #5 and #6 that features an appearance by the Legion of Super-Heroes and Krypto.

In the race to the relaunch, DC’s “Flashpoint” hits its half way point. With the trio of Flash, Batman, and Cyborg hunting for their hopeful Kryptonian savior, can this issue make it to the finish line without falling flat on its face? Take the jump, and find out!

The date for the big DC event has been set for May 2011, and as a final teaser for the week, DC Comics released the following image revealing the characters tied to each of teaser images from yesterday. As we speculated, this does look like a company wide event with the Flash at the center. As with any event like this (Final Crisis, Zero Hour, Crisis on Infinite Earths) there a good chance that everything we’ve endured these last couple of years. Will Batman, Inc. be undone? Will Superman stop walking around? Will Wonder Wonder get her Spankx back? DC

The only thing better than an original Major Spoilers piece of art, is Andy Kubert and his covers for the upcoming Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne series. Today, we’re featuring not one, but two covers, one each for issues #3 and #4.Â If you don’t want to see the Dread Pirate Batman, or The Good, The Bad, and The Batman covers, don’t take the jump.

You better believe it, as DC just releasedÂ the inked cover for the second issue of Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne series by Andy Kubert.Â Grant Morrison is writing, so your guess is as good as mine as to the trippy nature of this event. Oh, and so it isn’t totally spoiled for you, the image is after the jump.

Who is the baddest of the bad in the Stone Age?Â Look no further than Batman.Â And who can draw the Batman kicking caveman ass?Â Andy Kubert.Â Take the jump for a look at the cover to Return of Bruce Wayne #1.

Or – “I Almost Marked This As A Retro Review…” Because “This Just In: Former Batman Bruce Wayne Is Pretty Much Mostly Dead, But Also Somehow Drawing Cave Paintings In The Pleistocene Era” is just too unwieldyÂ as itÂ rollsÂ off the tongue…

Well, thatâ€™s one way to do a reboot Itâ€™s been such a long time since part one of Neil Gaimanâ€™s â€œWhatever Happened to the Caped Crusader?â€ issue, that I thought I had either missed the concluding chapter, or the release was being held off so readers could get into the full swing of â€œBattle for the Cowlâ€.Â Detective Comics #853 arrived today, and the wait was worth it as the issue didnâ€™t disappoint.

I’m not a huge Grant Morrison fan, but I don’t hate him either. To me if you can tell a good story that has me eagerly turning from one page to the next in anticipation, then the writer has done a great job. But in the case of Morrison’s debut on the Batman title, I have to say I’m truly conflicted.
